Yeah, he followed up with a Tweet saying he only meant legally, financially, and politically, but that’s likely just cover to salvage confirmation votes from Murkowski and/or Collins.

"Oh, I meant I just wanted to completely destroy their lives, not actually murder them."

That's a hell of a walk back, especially because it's clearly bullshit.

fwiw, it’s a lot easier to follow through on promises when you’re not constrained by a divided congress, or advisors who voice any disagreement, or a Supreme Court that might get in your way.

That’s a good point. Plenty of good ideas/policy ends up canned due to partisan obstructionism
 
My wife is a nurse in public health. Part of what they do is provide vaccines to families. I do fear what this administration will do regarding public health and vaccinations, etc. It could impact her job.

The other thing is my wife is black (I'm a white guy). Talking to her and some of her friends, the despair for them is profound. Part of the message to them is, once again, a black woman is always at a disadvantage.

I was driving down the road this morning and there were a row of Harris/Walz signs still posted on the side of the road. For the first time since Wednesday, a flood of tears hit me, but mainly because I just thought of Harris herself and the millions of black women whose hopes have been demolished by this election.

SF immigrants fear deportation after Trump win

President-elect Donald Trump has promised mass deportations on undocumented immigrants, many of whom live in California. Undocumented residents, advocates, and attorneys in San Francisco are already making preparations.

I have an idea of how things are going to affect Alex here....


But other undocumented immigrants weren’t bothered by Trump’s plan for mass deportations. Some even supported it.
“I’m an immigrant, and I love Trump,” said Alex, a day laborer who has been undocumented since he came to the U.S. from Nicaragua 28 years ago.
Alex, who works as a mover for U-Haul, said he’s excited by Trump’s promise to more thoroughly vet immigrants into the U.S. The 43-year-old said he supports deportations if they are focused on undocumented immigrants who have committed crimes.
“That’s my fantasy,” Alex said.
He’s supportive of making it harder to enter the country because he believes that when undocumented immigrants commit serious crimes, it makes Americans think they’re all criminals.
